Kickstarter of Note: Woven

Every now and then, a games developer looks at the landscape of gaming and decides that what it needs it more fabric. It worked out well for Little Big Planet, Unravelled and Yoshi's Woolly World, and now Alterego Games are bringing their take on textiles to crowdfunding site Kickstarter with Woven

"We've been working for the last year on getting together a playable build of Woven, to show what exactly it is we're aiming to achieve with the game. The team and I are incredibly excited to share this with the public on the launch of our Kickstarter and we hope that you love the game. We are all totally committed to make Woven as much of a unique experience, for everyone who plays it, as possible. No compromises will be taken when it comes to the feeling we want you to have while playing." said Vincent da Silva, Creative Director of Woven.

"With Kickstarter we hope to create a game we that truly believe in and it also gives us the option of giving the player an absolute and undiluted experience without making any form of compromise to a third party."

Unlike the other knitted games we mentioned earlier though, Woven is a point and click adventure. The game puts you in the shoes of "Stuffy", a stuffed elephant. As the game progresses, it allows you to adjust body parts on your character to complete tasks differently.

 With just over three weeks to go in the campaign at the time of writing, the Dutch indie developers are hoping that they will reach their modest target of €85,000. They're already part way there, and they're hoping for your help to make it all the way. They're even giving away stuffed elephants to backers who pledge enough!
